To solve for x, consider that the sum of the angles in a right triangle is 90 degrees. Therefore, the sum of the two acute angles on the right side is 32 + (2x - 12) = 90.
Combine like terms: 32 + 2x - 12 = 90
2x + 20 = 90
Subtract 20 from both sides: 2x = 70
Divide by 2: x = 35
Therefore, x = 35. So the answer is x=35.
